I Made a Flipbook out of GLASS

This flipbook might not survive. Willow Glass is paper-thin and flexible, but very fragile.

About Me:
Welcome to my channel! In addition to making flipbooks, I am a stop-motion animator and have worked on movies like ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings, Missing Link, and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. I fell in love with animation as a kid and have been doing it ever since.

Did I just got a life lesson, a touching metaphor, some chaotic art and a classic Andy flipbook in just one video? Amaizing!

[TheBlackPensSecret]

I stumbled upon this by accident. It was suggested on my home page and I thought it looked interesting. But … I got so much more than I expected. This was deeply heartwarming, encouraging and inspiring. I didn’t expect to hear this very unique analogy on resilience- but I definitely needed it.

I’m glad I came across it today. Thank you, Andy.

who knew a "simple" glass animation would turn into a therapy session. keep up the amazing work

[akivaraza]

I loved how he put the inflatable on bed than blow it up with air and showed it having enthusiasm for life again. That was the best part. Absolutely loved it. It carries the message so well.

I love that in that final flip of breaking glass, the pose that stands out is so dramatic -- like the slide was saying "TADA! Look at this magnificent, fragile work of art!"

[aimr]

You're not just an animator, you're an amazing storyteller! I've always loved the carefree but grounded nature of a balloon man, but never seen the angle you put out, of his resilience from constantly getting filled up by the things that make him who he is. ☺️

[nuitarik]

I was really inspired by your son, seeing the flipbook from the opposite angle as you, and seeing this yellow trail that was happening and questioning whether your whole intention could be flipped upside down and flipped the flipbook backwards to enjoy that even more than front. I think to be really creative. We have to stop assuming that our intentions when creating art or even correct. Things have to be able to change, and we have to be able to find things from a new perspective and value that potentially more than what we thought we were setting out to do.,

How is bro so inspirational while just making a flipbook💀

[Rannalovewatchvideos]

The bending and breaking in the process is actually magically beautiful

[markMosshair]

Andy,
I was deeply moved by the emotional vulnerability you poured into this piece. It felt like your dedication to your artistic craft gave you a safe space to explore difficult feelings. It seemed like the love you share with your family allowed you to prioritiez your shared experience with them (and us) with out getting too precious with the thing you had spent countless hours crafting. instead you allowed us to feel joy, anguish, excitement, connection, loss, and hope all simultaneously. Thank you for crafting such a beautiful story.
You inspire me

[QuestAnimations]

This is so inspiring. You took a concept like a balloon man and used it to show how it is so resilient and always Comes back and is also fragile like glass. This video is easily my favorite. Thank you.

[xxSuperFrogxxGaming]

I came for the glass, I stayed for the incredibly inspiring philosophy of the inflatable tube man.

This is my first video of yours but wow am I impressed by the beauty of the storytelling here! Thank you!

[alidemir]

I cannot remember the last time I got touched by something that is told in such a simple yet meaningful way. Thanks Andy!

[hobag]

Art is so vulnerable and I appreciate you sharing your whole story, not just the successes but your doubts and fears, giving a small piece of your struggle allows space to feel connection. Thank you. I feel less alone. ❤

[PaulPistore]

Such an emotional journey!
I went in thinking, "How cute." but ended with a tear in my eye.
That is true artistry!

[RansburgMakesArt]

Came for glass flipbook attempt, left with a deep metaphor that I can carry with me through the tough times in life. Thanks Andy!

[msufiyan]

This is one of the most inspirational videos I’ve watched in a while Andy. Thank you for this. Let’s just enjoy every frame while it lasts, and hope you get a few unbroken moments to cherish. Be kind, make art. ✌🏼

[DerpyDraws]

Andy is the person to use a flipbook and a baloon man to make an inspiring story

[asesg]

This is sincerely an AMAZING video. Not just for the making of the glass flipbook but the quality message you just gave. Amazing. Truly wish there were more content creators like you! :)

[emeri]

While flipping the glass pages and hearing “do it again, Dad. Keep going!”

There’s your constant force.

I hadn’t seen you prior to this video coming up on my homepage, and I’m so glad it did. Amazing.
